This video tutorial demonstrates using the Bible Word Cloud Generator in SwordSearcher.

I call this a "scripture discovery" tool because it gives you a way to visually explore relationships between Bible words and verses that is unique and fun.

At about 4:20 in the video I demonstrate how a word cloud can be used after a Bible search to give you words that are frequently associated with your search terms elsewhere in Scripture.
